I have steam btw, I haven't had any problems except for this one.

Hello JohnMF,

I'm sorry to hear you are having troubles with DOTR. I will try to help you.

The Fog of War bug was fixed with the release of version 1.4 so if you have either version 1.4 or 1.5 installed then the fog has nothing to do with your CTD.

Please upload your saved game so I can load it on my computer and attempt to identify the fix for the problem you are experiencing.

JohnMF,

The file you uploaded is a text file. Please upload the .sav file instead. I will need the .sav file for your campaign in order to investigate the cause of the problem.

Have downloaded 1.5 version - no altered files ALL leaders and generals still alive.... this happens on the first turn ???
Do you have that hotfix file you can upload here? Anxious to play this mod - maybe just replacing that one file will do the trick?

I looked at the values in the export_descr_unit files and don't notice any differences (other than cost and lineup) from original RSII. I'd very much like to restore the pace of battles to the RSII lengths. I thought RSII had this down perfect, as vanilla RTW battles were always way too fast. Large, slower battles always feel more epic and provide realistic time for flanking, moving troops on the field, zooming in to view the melee, etc...

Thanks for the advice!

You just need to adjust the lethality values. The quickest and easiest way to do that is probably to use Tone's EDU spreadsheet which is in a sticky thread here in the sub-mods section

Needing some help - downloaded and installed version 1.5 - all seemed to be OK, but.... getting the Slave crash after Alesia battle - both Caesar and Antony survived ??? Noticed your post about the hotfix -

I just added to the list of features an explanation of the Survivor Script feature. I also added a Survivor Hot Fix attachment. It is very important that you install this Hot Fix after having installed DotR. If you do not install this hot fix your campaign will end in March 44 BC as all your settlements will be given to the slave faction, and you will receive a message that informs you that you have not met the victory conditions. I apologize for the need for this hot fix. I simply overlooked this error as the Survivor Script was the last part I added to the sub-mod prior to release. After having spent several months building this sub-mod I was in a hurry to release it so I did not test this feature as well as I should have

**** can you re-post this in a separate file so I can download it and apply it to my game?
Thanks

If you have version 1.5 then you don't need the survivor hot fix patch, because it is already built into that version.

There must be something else causing this problem. Is Octavian still alive when this happens? Have you modified any of the files?

**CPT Worsham** · June 26, 2011, 05:13 PM

I recommend restarting your campaign as it sounds like something is bugged. If that does not fix it then reinstall ver 1.5 and try again.

**josh187** · June 28, 2011, 12:53 PM

hey, love the mod. i have a Q about caesars 13th. it seems like if i fight a battle with him and lose some soldiers, that in a few turns later they replenish by themselves. is this in my head or is that really happening? and if so what does this, a trait? i like it because it reminds my of empire and shogun 2. how can i get some more of my legions to do this, like other important characters armies.

**CPT Worsham** · June 28, 2011, 02:21 PM

You are correct that Caesar's armies replenish themselves. I have scripted it so that he is the only character that does this although I was tempted to do the same thing with Agrippa. I am using my IPhone right now so I cannot copy and paste the part of the script that makes this work at the moment. However, when I get back to my computer I will past that part of the script here so you can see how to do it.

EDIT: Below is the part of the background script that reinforces Julius Caesar's Army

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Caeasar's Army Reinforcements

monitor_event CharacterTurnEnd FactionType romans_brutii
and FactionIsLocal
and I_TurnNumber <= 89
and IsFactionLeader
and not EndedInSettlement
and FactionLeaderTrait Julius > 0
replenish_units Gaius Julius_Caesar
end_monitor

Sounds like a hardware issue. DEFRAG your computer to see if that helps. Also, wait at least 30 seconds after the battle before clicking continue.

**equites** · July 05, 2011, 05:45 PM

Just auto resolved the battle and everything went fine

Needing some help - downloaded and installed version 1.5 - all seemed to be OK, but.... getting the Slave crash after Alesia battle - both Caesar and Antony survived ??? Noticed your post about the hotfix - the download sites have diff size files - approx 6 mb difference? I'm thinking one contains the hotfix file - the other doesn't.... I don't really want to pay for Rapid Share's service to get the bigger file - wondering if you can post the hotfix file here so I can try that and finally, see if I can get this Mod to work - anxious to play! Tried everything else you suggested, nothing works....

Does the crash occur when you exit the battle or does it occur when you end the turn?

**toe198563** · July 16, 2011, 08:46 AM

It happens when I end turn - everything turns to black - slave revolt....

The Survivor issue was fixed in version 1.1. You are using version 1.5, and the survivor issue is corrected in that version. I think something else is causing this problem for you. Have you modded it in any way? If so what changes have you made?

Do you have a saved game file that you can upload? I would like to have a look at what is going on.

I'm certain that the survivor issue that occurred prior to version 1.1 is not what is causing this. However, I have uploaded in this post the hot fix for the survivor bug, and you can try it if you like.

**endel2005** · July 16, 2011, 08:11 PM

My game crashes.. Im running 1.5. After it crashes if I dont reactivated the script it works perfect. The moment I activate the script and click END TURN it crashes.. any ideas?

**endel2005** · July 16, 2011, 09:59 PM

I seem to have figured out the problem.. if ceasar is in a fort.. not a city. then it crashes when you hit end turn

That is odd. It sounds like a problem with the script that retrains his stack. I don't get a crash when I have Caesar garrisoned in cities or forts. Have you modified the background script at all?
